Not that it's any big surprise, but in today's issue of Toyfare, they give the results of the fan CnC poll. Nekron will be the Wave 20 CnC, who won with 34% of the vote. King Shark came in 2nd with 20%, Shaggy Man & Wildebeest were 3 & 4, (can't remember which was which) Girder came in 5th, and Blockbuster (my personal vote) came in dead last.

That's weird. I already got Wave 15. How was Wave 15 released before 14? Are we, um, now supposed to now refer to 15 as 14?

For sanity's sake, DCUC15 will remain 15.

Mattel said there were some kind of logistical problems quite a while ago, but I don't think they ever elaborated, and I haven't seen any real follow-up from them - they've been pretty silent. But it does rather throw off the sequence.

Not surprised about Nekron winning the poll, but am surprised to see Blockbuster lose it so badly - he was my choice as well. I'm all for Bronze-Age Batvillains in the line!

I think I'm going to hold out hope for a rerelease of Gentleman Ghost with the Giganta parts... that was the wave that made me stop collecting the line so avidly; it seemingly never hit here, and the only one I've been able to find since has been Vigilante, who I found out later, was part of a refresh case. I still need both figures in that two pack, but I won't rebuy GG just for Giganta's pieces.

Well that sucks. I recall ToyGuru saying that they were gonna work on getting Gentleman Ghost rereleased with mini Atom and Giganta parts. I guess not. Makes me continue to wonder if the Matty Wave 5 sets were just leftover stock from Walmart.

Just read on Matty that Wave 15 is supposed to hit K-Marts this Sunday. (If yours hasn't already put them out) They'll be on sale for $7.75 each next week, from their already cheapest retail price of $12.99!

Aha! Here is that image I was refering to, the tray liner of the DC75 CD. Thanks to the Aquaman Shrine:
MOST of these characters have been part of DCUC and a lot of them are really ONLY notable nowadays because of that, like Imperiex or Jack Knight or Jemm! Dawn Granger is the current active Dove, but I believe Don Hall will be the one that gets made into a toy. And Steppenwolf ONLY looks like that in the toy line. In the comics, they still draw him the way Kirby originally designed him. So, does this mean the rest are on their way? Here's hoping!

As much as I want to support the Retro Action line, this wave does nothing for me. I don't care for either J'Onn or Captain Marvel and would have liked to have seen Hawkman and Hawkgirl in their place. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Black Canary, but this series seems to be bombing with fans. Modern fans are put off by the Mego goofiness and Mego fans are just put off. Sigh!

I hope I won't have to wait for Wal-Mart or Target to get these figures in.

Could you point me in the direction of this coupon? $3 per figure is too good to pass up!

I must say I'm envious you at least got a box in. Both of the KMarts in my area only restocked with boxes completely filled with Superman. I only found 1 Jemm last Sunday, with the Man of Steel clogging the rest of the space.

If nine hundred He-Man.Org members get eaten by Thundercats fans, but neither of them has a toyline, does it still count as a fan movement?
